Haven't posted for a while. Recent excitement: attending an audience with Pope Leo last week, together with fellow faculty and alumni of the Senior Faith in Leadership Programme. Guess who's wearing purple?

Wow!
Continuing to seek out great artists painting unfamiliar subjects for them, or in uncharacteristic styles. Here’s Mondrian’s Red Tree, which I had the privilege of seeing at an exhibition not long ago. Transition work from early landscapes to full abstraction.

@bjfogg.bsky.social, that's an interesting hypothesis, but I wonder if it depends on what we would be doing instead if we weren't investing in those weak ties. Also, strong ties start off as weak ties!
I believe this is mostly true:
The more we focus on weak ties (distant relationships), the less happy we become.
Why? Because happiness comes from our closest relationships.
Investing in weak ties (even via bsky) means we have less time/energy for close relationships.
(more soon ...)

Holiday tip . . .
You can be the most engaging person at your holiday gathering by saying these 5 words:
"That's interesting. Tell me more."
Then you listen carefully.
Repeat these 5 words sincerely. Over and over.
See what happens.

Or the ones you've already read and don't plan to read again.
Give away all those books you intended to read but never quite found the time.

Great idea. Haven't chosen mine yet -- the list of possibilities is long! What's yours?
Instead of resolutions for 2025, ask yourself this question:
What is the simplest one-time change I can make to my home environment that will have the biggest impact on my well-being thru all of 2025?
Come up with a few answers. Pick one you like best. And then do it.
Bonus: share in a comment

If you usually make #newyear'sresolutions, maybe do something different this year and think about creating #tinyhabits instead. They're more fun! Find out how tomorrow at 8 pm (GMT) at a free webinar with Mark Lichman.

Take a close look at the sunflowers painting on the left. Interesting to notice where Van Gogh signed the painting.
Sunday at 9 am was a good choice for tickets for the Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery.

I'm listening to a fascinating episode of the No Stupid Questions podcast. This one's about pessimism vs optimism. Lots of discussion of #agency, #Bandura, #self-efficacy, #Seligman, but maybe not enough about #hope.
